The Pennsylvania Avenue SE Public Life Study was completed with the objective of elevating the public life along the avenue, so it can become the civic and social spine of the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Washington, DC. The study builds on a primary and secondary study areas along the avenue, Eastern Market Metro Park and Seward Square respectively - in order to more broadly understand the neighborhood’s public life patterns. More specifically, the desired outcome can be met through:
- Enhancing the diverse cultural appeal of parks and plazas;
- Elevating the pedestrian experience; and,
- Better serving the park and plaza users.
While the completion and publication of this public life study coincide the Coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic, the field work and site analysis were completed prior to the March 11th, 2020 DC State of Emergency. As a result, the study team feels that the data and analysis represented herein is an accurate reflection of public life in Pennsylvania Avenue, SE outside of the public health emergency.
